Coronavirus
Disease (COVID-19) Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by a virus. It first surfaced in China in December 2019 and has since become a global pandemic. Symptoms of COVID-19 range from mild to severe and include fever, coughing, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. The virus is spread through contact with droplets from an infected person, and can be especially dangerous for those with weakened immune systems. Prevention is key to curbing the spread of COVID-19, and measures such as wearing a face mask, regularly washing hands, and maintaining a distance of at least 6 feet from others are highly recommended. As of October 2020, no vaccine is available, and treatments are limited to alleviating symptoms and strengthening the immune system. COVID-19 is a serious health issue and has had significant economic, political and social consequences.
